re: #2 Obdicut

Planned Parenthood provides a host of services, like contraceptives, cancer screening, natal education, and they do it cheaply and effectively.

Defunding them would raise costs at hospitals and elsewhere.

Fiscal responsibility, my ass.

I’m not sure you understand.

A lot of women who receive services like breast exams at Planned Parenthood are poor and/or minorities.

If more women from the “parasite class” (actual term used by a libertarian I’ve been arguing with) get cancer, it’s a fair trade-off, the upside being that wealthy people can pay less in taxes.
